The navigation system sometimes provides a detour
route when I am driving a route on the highway.If Traffic Rerouting is set to On, the navigation system pr ovides a detour route to
your destination only if it can find a signific antly faster route than the original one.
2Traffic Rerouting P. 59
The navigation system routes me to an exit and an
alternate highway with unknown flow speeds or
surface streets.The navigation system predicts which ro ute should be faster based on highway
congestion along your route. Use your own experience to determine whether the
alternate route would be faster.
How can I ignore the detour route and return to the
original route?Press the SETTINGS button. Select Navi Settings > Routing , and set Traffic
Rerouting to Off.

Guidance, Routing
ProblemSolution
The navigation system does not route me the same
way I would go or the same way as other mapping
systems.The navigation system attempts to generate the optimal route. You can change the
route preferences used when calculating a route.
2Route Preference P. 55
The navigation system wants to route me around
potential traffic problems. How do I stop these pop-up
messages?Press the SETTINGS button. Select Navi Settings > Routing, and set Traffic
Rerouting to Off .
2Traffic Rerouting P. 59
The street I’m on is not shown on the map screen.The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision. You can access the most
recent information on the internet.
2Map Coverage P. 347
The vehicle position icon is not following the road and
the “GPS icon” text in th e upper left hand corner of
the screen is white or missing.• Check that the GPS antenna (located in the dashboard) is not blocked. For best reception, remove items from the dashboard, such as radar detectors, cell phones,
or loose articles.
• Metallic tinting or other aftermarket devi ces can interfere with the GPS reception.
Please consult a dealer.
2 GPS P. 344
The blue highlighted route and voice guidance
stopped or turned into a blue/pink line before I got to
my destination.Your route has entered an unverified area.
2Unverified Routing P. 57
How do I stop the map from rotating as I drive along?Press the SETTINGS button. Select Navi Settings > Map > View > North-Up .
The “time to destination” display sometimes increases
even though I am getting closer to my destination.If your speed reduces due to slower traffic, the navigation system updates the “time to
destination” based on your actual road speed to give you a better estimate of arrival
time.
The vehicle position icon on the map “lags” a short
distance behind, especially when I arrive at an
intersection.This is normal. The navigation system is un aware of the width of intersections. Large
differences in vehicle position can indicate a temporary loss of the GPS signal.
2 GPS P. 344
The screen is showing white dots as I drive along.These dots are called “breadcrumbs.” These are displayed if Display Tracking is set to
On .

routing.When you “draw” your area to avoid, make sure to select sections of roads that
include at least one intersection.
2Avoided Area P. 61
My elevation (shown when I display the current
position) seems to fluctuate even though my elevation
has not changed.This is normal. The elevation can vary ±30 meters due to GPS calculation errors.
2GPS P. 344
My elevation is missing on the “current position”
screen.The elevation is only displayed if the GPS antenna can receive signals from at least four
satellites. Try moving the vehicle into an open area. The elevation is also not displayed
if the calculated elevation is zero or below sea level.

area.The mapping database is constantly undergoing revision. You can access the most
recent information on the internet.
